In the unlikely event of a fire, when possible first shut off the source of electricity. Class ABC extinguishers
are recommended in close proximity to your power generating equipment and are best suited for
multipurpose fire types such as wood, flammable liquids, and electrical appliances.
Respiratory irritation may be caused if the battery is punctured or cracked.
Skin contact with a punctured or otherwise open battery can cause irritation.
To avoid risk of shock or fire, ensure all wires are properly sized and in good condition.
Verify all equipment to be connected to the batteries is turned off before making any electrical
connections.
Do not submerge the batteries. This can cause personal injury and will void your warranty.
Do not attempt to disassemble the batteries. This can cause personal injury and will void your warranty.
KiloVault® batteries can be used in RV applications for electrical appliances ONLY. They can NOT be used
to crank over motors in such vehicles.
3 - Installation
3.1 - Before You Install Your Batteries
1. When gathering your tools for your installation, please make sure that you have a digital
multimeter with a 0.1 V accuracy. It will help you to verify battery polarity before you make any
connections. You can also use the multimeter to ensure that your batteries are at the same
voltage.
2. Please write down and save the serial numbers of your batteries along with the rest of your system
information. If you have already downloaded and installed the HLX iT battery monitoring
application, also write down and save the battery names.
3. Each battery must be commissioned by individually charging it to exactly 14.1 V before placing it
into operation with other batteries. Otherwise, the batteries will be fully charged or fully
discharged at different times and could cause a low voltage or high voltage disconnect.
a. You will see 14.1 V while the battery is still on the charger and actively charging. When
charging is finished and the charger shuts off or the battery is disconnected, the voltage
will slump to 13.3 > 13.6 V. This is normal. The battery is still fully charged.
b. Due to transportation regulations, lithium batteries cannot be shipped fully charged. As a
result, if you have purchased more than one battery for your system all batteries must be
fully charged to exactly 14.1 V before using.
c. Many automotive type battery chargers will not reach 14.1 V. Please check charger
specifications when selecting your charge. You can contact your KiloVault® distributor for
a list of recommended chargers.
d. An acceptable charger:
i. Must be a 12 V charger.
ii. Maximum charge voltage - 14.1 V.
iii. Must have Equalization disabled.
iv. 1200 HLX+ maximum charge amperage - 80 A.
v. 2400 HLX+ maximum charge amperage - 150A.
